Derry Girls fans are all saying the same thing after the sitcom's latest instalment wowed viewers with a flashback episode starring a young Ma Mary and Aunt Sarah. Fans have called for a 'spin off' series after loving the glimpse into the 70s' episode.
The unique 30-minute episode was unlike anything the coming of age sitcom had done before with show writer Lisa McGee explaining ahead of it being broadcast it was "one for the Mammies". This time the focus was on the 'original Derry Girls', as Aunt Sarah and Ma headed to their school reunion - and the surprise of the night wasn't just that the original gang used to be friends with Jenny Joyce's mum.
The sisters kept talking about the secret they'd kept from their Leavers' Night in 1977, as flashbacks showed a younger cast portraying the parents at their leaving party. Later in the episode, it was revealed the group of friends had each got a skull tattoo, given to them by Deirdre (Michelle's mum), whoch they had concealed for years.
